Hi everyone! I probably haven't written on the message boards with a question in forever!! I was wondering what tips you all use to stay within the calorie range MFP gives? It might seem like a strange question, but do you pre-plan your food OR put it in as you're eating it or after you eat it or what?

I usually burn a significant amount of calories each day so I feel like my calorie # always fluctuates, making it hard for me to make a set food plan. And... IF I agree to eat only 1400 and then get super hungry... then I'll probably still eat more.

Just looking for some tips from the people who are already doing good at this! Thanks MFP

    Weighing everything, pre-planning my day, and using the recipe builder to bulk prep meals so I can easily log them every day.

    27lbs down and it's staying off.

    I meal prep usually a week in advance except a couple a meals a day. Other wise my meals are already prepped and ready to go.

    I usually go smoothie for breakfast, which is obviously low cal. But yeah, it's easier to plan it a day in advance I find.
